US tech CEO resigns after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral

The Resignation

The CEO of a US-based tech firm has resigned from their position after a viral incident at a Coldplay concert.

Last Friday, the CEO was publicly embraced by the Grammy-winning pop rock band amidst a crowd of thousands. The move, perhaps intended to be a thoughtful gesture, quickly backfired as the CEO became engulfed in a wave of online ridicule and indignation. Numerous videos of the embrace have since amassed millions of views, causing an uproar on social media platforms.

Company Reaction

In a statement released shortly after the incident, the CEO's own company criticized the embrace, describing it as an \"unacceptable display of reckless behavior\". The firm's statement further hinted at an internal investigation, pending further developments.

Coldplay's Take

Members of Coldplay have remained relatively silent on the matter, their publicist releasing only a brief statement expressing \"concern and empathy for all those who were involved or affected.\" Speculation continues as to the band's future public appearances, with investors and fans awaiting official word on their upcoming US tour.
